 “Based
on our study, the estates in Myanmar
are projected to be self-financing in
their fifth or sixth year of operation,
thus enabling the group to easily finance
the planting of additional new acreage,”
|
 |

During his week-long India trip, U
Kyaw Thu also held discussions with
his Indian counterpart Shivshankar Menon,
Foreign Secretary for External Affairs,

 “The
other floors will be for the Gamone
Pwint Shopping Centre and the Plaza.
Our own department store will occupy
the fourth and fifth floors and we’ll
rent out the shop units for the plaza
on the third floor from the middle of
this month”

The

the house. There is a ‘wet’
kitchen for preparing meat and vegetables

 “Before
we opened our Yangon embassy, pilgrims from Myanmar
had to apply for Saudi visas in Bangkok or Dhaka,
so now the process is much less complicated,” |
|

| |
| “Sometimes vehicle owners
don’t want to go through the trouble of
applying for the licences themselves so they hire
agents to do it. This is a mistake because the
agents sometimes get fake licences instead of
real ones,” |

| |
| |
| “Although eels and crabs
are renewable resources that can be replenished
through reproduction, overexploitation can lead
to extinction. If too many are caught in the wild
for export we might have to increase restrictions
in the future,” |

| “While Myanmar has its
University of Foreign Language, we have our Pusan

Koreans are studying the Myanmar language. It
is a good sign for relations that people in both
countries are interested in the other country’s
language,” |

why I don’t hesitate to mix, for example,

2006 was awarded a masters degree by the Tokyo
National University of Fine Arts and Music.
